:pserver: allows a great deal of options, such as credential management
system, while :ext: is mostly like using a :local: repository, and you
don't have access to the aforementioned features.

If you need a secured :pserver: you might want to establish a SSH
tunnel to the pserver bound to localhost on the server.

You might want to check the following URLs.  Each one provides a way to
secure a pserver.  Choose the one that fits the best to your needs or
constraints:

cvssh: a secure bridge for cvs pservers
http://www.sabren.net/code/cvssh/

ccvssh: ext-to-pserver SSL bridge for CVS
http://ccvssh.sourceforge.net/

I hope this will help.
